I have been holding on to my Casion watch (Model #548) for years. Kept telling myself I needed to have the battery changed. Well, I had the battery changed on June 25, 2008. Amazing, the watch hasn't shown its digital readout in over 14+ years and a new battery has brought it back to life. My Casio was back in action! I changed the band to a faux Indian tapestry made of nylon years ago. It looks very sporty. I am so excited and looking forward to wearing it continuously in the garden. Your posted manual will be exactly what I was originally looking for. Thank you, Jorgensen Great information!

Great article! Brings back all kinds of memories (Casio wrist calculators, even had a Casio "Boss" early pda from them too once upon a time!)

But the question remains: Will you stuff your Marlin back into the sock drawer for another 20 years? Terrific article–you’ve given long overdue credit to a terrific Casio line!

Welcome back to the world of Vintage Casios. I totally agree with your heritage theory regarding the first G-shock and the Marlins. I've thought as much for some time and your succinct comparison and analysis really nails it as far as I'm concerned. Of course, the internals are quite different but the design philosophy is very similar. Your Marlin list looks pretty complete, but this not being my area of strength, someone more knowledgeable may be able to check for any additions. cheers, Kim Patterson Thanks for the great article Tempus !

Since I got into G-Shock's I have alays had an eye on these vintages Casio's. I somehow loved the Marlin on those models, so no wonder I was pretty excited to see the Marlin was back on a new and good looking Casio Duro series (<a title="Casio Duro series" href="http://www.casiojv.com/series.php?series_id=DR0010" rel="nofollow">click here for link</a>). I would love to own a H-101 or W-350 once. There is a pretty lively intrest in vintage Casio's in Germany, so I believe it will be hard hunting for me. <div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.casiojv.com/images/watch/special/back_engraving39.jpg" /></div> Cheers, Sjors Hi Tempus Fugitive,
